Looks like a great fourm, I just was advised to come here because of a MT4 question I had, so here goes. I have an expert which enters into trades very frequently, and I would like to run multiple instances of it on the same currency pair. However I don't want to have all the experts enter at the same price. I had set up a different qualifying criteria but I do think it would be more efficient to space the trades out using pips...

So what would be the most efficient way to tell an expert to only enter a trade if the price is say some multiple of 100. For expample we would want the expert to only enter a trade if the price ends in x.xx20, where 'x' can be anything.

Someone smarter than me suggested, for a price ending in x.xx00, in MT3 we could do something like this.


Var: GetMultipleStart(0),StartMultiple(0),MultipleValue (0),MultipleValue2(0);
Var: MultipleValue3(0),MultipleValue4(0);

If TotalTrades==0 then StartMultiple=0; // don't forget to reset the variable

If StartMultiple==0 then
{

StartMultiple=1;
If GetMultipleStart=0 then GetMultipleStart=Ask;

If GetMultipleStart>0 then
{
MultipleValue= GetMultipleStart*100; // Chop of the intergers that aren't wanted
MultipleValue2= (round(MultipleValue)); // Round off to get rid of integers
};
If MultipleValue2 > MultipleValue then MultipleValue3= MultipleValue2 - 1 Else MultipleValue3=MultipleValue2; // If the integer gets rounded up it will throw things off this
// will negate that effect
MultipleValue4= MultipleValue3/100; // This gives you the value in it's regular form x.x100


Is this possible/feasable in MT4 or is it not worth the time.

Thanks in advance, and I am excited about this new forum.
